High Idle

High Idle
I have an 87 GTA, 5.7l auto. The car runs fine except that once I get above around 40mph, and then decelerate, it will idle at 1200 rpm until about 3 seconds after I come to a complete stop. If I put it in neutral, it will stay at 1200. If I don't get it above about 1200, it will idle back down to 600 or so normally.
I have reset the IAC and the TPS, switched ecms, and checked the throttle linkage.
The only other thing I can add is that I replaced the trans a while back but I can't remember if this problem started right after that or not.
What do you think might be causing this problem?

Have you tried replacing the IAC? I had a real bad problem with idle. Like you said, it would stay up (mine was around 1500-2000). So I replaced the TPS first, and that didn't solve the problem. So then I replaced the IAC. Followed the instructions to reset it, and now the car idles just fine.
Thats my story, may work for you.
